David Hoffman @trustlessstate
David Hoffman is the co-founder of Bankless, the media powerhouse he built with Ryan Sean Adams around the thesis that crypto enables a financial life without banks. As co-host of the Bankless podcast, he has conducted hundreds of interviews with Ethereum researchers, DeFi founders and policy figures, developing a reputation for translating deep protocol concepts into accessible narrative. His personal feed under the handle trustlessstate leans philosophical: Ethereum as credibly neutral infrastructure, the cultural meaning of decentralization, and the long arc of open financial systems. His roughly 252,000 followers get a blend of ecosystem analysis, thesis refinement and the occasional spirited defense of Ethereum against its critics.
